In early September, HTC stopped by the CNET offices to show off its new Windows Phone devices, the HTC Titan and HTC Radar. Though the Titan was the better phone in terms of specs, it was the Radar that grabbed my attention, with its combination of a beautiful design and the slickness of Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. Now, T-Mobile customers get to experience the same thing with the HTC Radar 4G, which is available now for $99.99 with a two-year contract. It's a great price for a great phone that might not attract the early adopters and gadget heads but should please everyone else.
The HTC Radar 4G is one of the more striking smartphones I've seen in a while. The white-and-silver color scheme helps it stand out from the crowd, and its sleek, aluminum unibody design makes for a very high-quality-feeling phone. At 4.74 inches tall by 2.42 inches wide by 0.43 inch thick and 4.83 ounces, it's also nice and compact, and the tapered edges make it even easier to slip the handset into your pocket. The Radar 4G is pretty much everything I'm looking for when it comes to the design, but if there's one downside it's that the smartphone doesn't have a user-replaceable battery.
On front, you get a 3.8-inch WVGA (480x800) touch screen. With more and more smartphones featuring displays that measure 4 inches or larger, the Radar's screen might seem small to some folks, and admittedly, it didn't provide the best video viewing experience. That said, I found it fine for everything else. Reading messages was a breeze. Pictures looked vibrant and clear on screen, and with the built-in accelometer, viewing Web pages was not a problem.
The touch screen is also very responsive. Windows Phone offers a gorgeous and fluid user interface, and the touch screen let me navigate through the various menus and hubs quickly and easily. I think the Windows Phone virtual keyboard is outstanding and one of the best out there, but I would still like to have a choice, and unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't give me that option.
Below the display, you'll find the back, Start, and search buttons, which are required on all Windows Phone devices. Also required is a dedicated camera button, which sits on the right side, along with a volume rocker. Meanwhile, there's a Micro-USB port on the left spine, and a 3.5mm headphone jack and power/lock button on top.
The main 5-megapixel camera is located on back along with an LED flash. There is also a front-facing VGA camera for video calls. As with most Windows Phone devices, the Radar 4G does not offer expandable memory, so you will have to be OK with phone's 8GB of internal memory.
The HTC Radar 4G comes packaged with just the basic accessories: an AC adapter, a USB cable, and reference material.
The HTC Radar 4G ships running Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, which brings such improvements as Twitter integration in the People hub, threaded messaging, multitasking, and a more robust Bing search engine. You can read about all the new features and enhancements in our in-depth review of Windows Phone Mango here.
Though Microsoft restricts much customization from OEMs and carriers, they still have an opportunity to add some flair. For example, the Radar features the HTC hub, where HTC fans can find the company's clock and weather widget, featured apps, and news and stock feeds. The smartphone also comes with several apps preloaded by T-Mobile, such as T-Mobile TV, TeleNav GPS Navigator, and Netflix. By default, some are pinned to the Start screen as live tiles, but you can unpin them or uninstall the apps completely, which is nice.
Additional titles are available through the Windows Phone Marketplace, which has more than 35,000 apps in its catalog.
The HTC Radar 4G is a quad-band world phone with a speakerphone, call waiting, call forwarding, conference calling, voice dialing, and text and multimedia messaging. The smartphone is compatible with T-Mobile's HSPA+ 14.4 network and also includes Bluetooth 2.1, Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n), and GPS.

Do you struggle to lose weight? Do you want a simple and natural weight loss method? With the holidays quickly approaching, many of us are thinking about all the weight that we gained last year and are wishing there were a way we could start losing some weight leading up to all those office parties, family reunions, etc. and to keep it off even beyond the holiday season.
Do you exercise constantly and still not manage to lose any weight? The fact is that exercise alone isn't enough. In reality, DIETING is "80% of the battle and exercise is only 20%"> Based on these numbers, it is no wonder that much of the population is overweight. Naturally, eating comes to us all pretty easily. As easily as breathing most likely. The problem is, many of us have never been taught to eat WELL. This is critically important because unless you learn to eat well, you may never master the art of dieting in which case, losing weight becomes an impossible mission. In our society, certain inappropriate eating habits have become routine and by attacking these habits, you can increase the likelihood that you will actually lose weight.
It has been said that variety is the spice of life, and that is certainly true when trying to eat a healthy diet. No one likes to eat the same thing day after day, and boredom is the enemy of a healthy diet. Fortunately for those trying to follow a healthy diet, there is plenty of variety to be had in healthy foods. In addition to the hundreds of varieties of fruits and vegetables available at the average grocery store, there is a wide variety of beans, lentils, nuts, meat, dairy products, fish and poultry. There is no need for boredom to set in when pursuing a healthier lifestyle.
It is important for everyone to eat foods from the five major food groups each and every day. The five food groups identified by the USDA include grains, vegetables, fruits, milk & dairy and meat & beans. Each of these food groups contains specific nutrients, so it is important to eat a combination of these foods to ensure proper levels of nutrition. Of course, simply choosing foods from the five food groups is not enough. After all, a meal from the five food groups could include cake, candied yams, avocados, ice cream and bacon. Although all five food groups are represented, no one would try to argue that this is a healthy day's menu. Choosing the best food from within each group and eating the less healthy foods in moderation is the best way to ensure a healthy and varied diet.
No matter what your reason for following a healthy diet, or what your ultimate fitness goals may be, you will find that a good understanding of nutrition will form the basis of your healthy diet. Understanding how the various food groups work together to form a healthy diet will go a long way toward helping you meet your ultimate fitness goals. Whether your goal is to run a marathon, just feel better about yourself, or lose ten pounds before all of those holiday parties, knowledge is power, and nutritional knowledge will power your diet for the rest of your life.

Heard many tips but still unsure. Is it worth the cost of paying to have it done? What is the worst I could do if I did it myself?

Amazon has been on a URL shopping spree, splashing out on over 500 new domain names to add to its arsenal - including among them amazonsilkforandroid.com, amazonsilkformac.com and amazonsilkforpc.com.
Catchy dot coms they may not be, but the new URLs certainly suggest that Amazon's Kindle Fire browser, Silk, could be making its way on to other devices in the future.
It's no guarantee - Amazon may just be babysitting the domains so no one else can nab them, particularly given that the purchases were made through MarkMonitor, a brand protection agency - but it's an interesting proposition, and one that makes a modicum of sense.
Silky smooth
Announced yesterday, Silk is currently only on the Kindle Fire tablet, and uses a nifty combo of caching and the cloud to make web browsing super speedy and less power intensive for the tablet itself.
If these new URLs are to be believed, we could see this web capability come to other Android tablets and smartphones, as well as to the desktop PC and Mac computers.
For the time being though, we'd settle for Amazon to bring Silk to the UK on the Kindle Fire - a UK release date and pricing is nowhere to be seen.

Well, since today is Easter I thought I had better make it an Easter themed card.
HERE to see what the other gals did with this Sketch Challenge.
Stamp sets: Ears To You, Clockworks, French Foliage
It is hard to see in this photo but I used Bashful Blue and the splat from FRENCH FOLIAGE as my background, then embossed it with the PERFECT POLKA DOTS Embossing Folder.
I thought I would sneak in a couple photos of cakes I made recently...
This little robot was a big hit and ended up getting a second order for the same cake from another family from church.
Thanks for stopping by!
and while you are at it - how about playing along with us?

Never a dull moment in the Lohan household.
Police were called to Dina Lohan's home in Long Island, N.Y., early Wednesday morning because of an incident involving Dina and her daughter Lindsay, according to authorities.
Police received a report of a disturbance at the house shortly after 8 a.m., Officer James Imperiale tells TVGuide.com. "An investigation was conducted and a verbal argument between Dina Lohan and Lindsay Lohan occurred," Imperiale said. "No arrests were made."
Report: Lindsay Lohan claims she was assaulted
It was Lindsay's father (and Dina's ex- husband) Michael who called police, sources told the New York Post. According to audio of the original argument obtained by TMZ, Lindsay called her father during the fracas and told him that Dina was on cocaine and had said to Lindsay, "You're dead to me."
The mother-daughter duo had reportedly been partying in a Manhattan nightclub and left around 4 a.m. to head to Dina's home, TMZ reports. The club where they spent the evening was allegedly the same club where Lindsay clipped a man with her SUV in the parking lot last month.
The air had apparently cleared between mother and daughter by Wednesday afternoon. TMZ reports that Lindsay and Dina were photographed hugging as Lindsay left her mom's home.

We elaborate a cultural framing theory of legal cynicism—previously used to account for neighborhood variation in Chicago homicides—to explain Arab Sunni victimization and insurgent attacks during the U.S. post-invasion occupation of Iraq. Legal cynicism theory has an unrecognized power to explain collective and interpersonal violence in international as well as U.S. settings. We expand on how "double and linked" roles of state and non-state actors can be used to analyze violence against Arab Sunni civilians.
Lawyers keep the gates of public justice institutions, particularly through their roles in formal procedures like hearings and trials. Yet, it is not clear what lawyers do in such quintessentially legal settings: conclusions from past research are bedeviled by a lack of clear theory and inconsistencies in research design. Conceptualizing litigation work in terms of professional expertise, I conduct a theoretically grounded synthesis of the findings of extant studies of lawyers' impact on civil case outcomes.
After September 11, issues of immigration and terrorism merged, heightening surveillance and racializing Latino immigrants as a threat to national security, according to sociologists at The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin).
Socius: Sociological Research for a Dynamic World invites papers for a special issue on gender in the 2016 elections. We invite contributions on all topics relevant to gender and politics. Potential topics could include (but are not limited to): gender and the executive; women, social policy, and state legislative elections; intersectionality and the media; gender and public opinion; and women in changing political institutions. Informative papers on trends or cross-national comparisons are welcome as long as they are framed in relation to the 2016 U.S. election.
More than 5,500 sociologists will convene in Montreal this August to explore scientific research relating to social inequality and many other topics, as part of the American Sociological Association's 112th Annual Meeting. This year's theme, "Culture, Inequalities, and Social Inclusion across the Globe," draws attention to the nexus of culture, inequalities, and group boundaries in order to promote greater social inclusion and resilience, collective well-being, and solidarity in Canada, the United States, and globally.
Korpi and Palme's (1998) classic "The Paradox of Redistribution and Strategies of Equality" claims that universal social policy better reduces poverty than social policies targeted at the poor. This article revisits Korpi and Palme's classic, and in the process, explores and informs a set of enduring questions about social policy, politics, and social equality.
Why is there no labor party in the United States? This question has had deep implications for U.S. politics and social policy. Existing explanations use "reflection" models of parties, whereby parties reflect preexisting cleavages or institutional arrangements. But a comparison with Canada, whose political terrain was supposedly more favorable to labor parties, challenges reflection models.
Despite having only about 5 percent of the world's population, the United States was the attack site for a disproportionate 31 percent of public mass shooters globally from 1966-2012, according to research presented at the 2015 Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association (ASA).

I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

Let's start the New Year on a sweet note, shall we?
When I saw this recipe, I tore it out immediately not as a topping for the Maple-Gingerbread Layer Cake recipe that it accompanied, but for a topping for ice cream. More specifically, as an ice cream topping for my Dad.
But then I made it, and tried it – for quality assurance of course – and then the Taster tried it, and we loved it. It is sweet with a touch of salt. Thankfully I had doubled the batch and we had plenty to savor without dipping into Dad's stash. The Taster put some in coffee, wanted to put it on eggs and we tried it with apple slices. Heaven. I suspect this sauce would make anything taste utterly decadent and ridiculously good.
Salted Maple-Caramel Sauce – makes about 2 cups – adapted from Bon Appétit
- 1 stick of unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup maple sugar
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 1/2 heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Melt the butter in sauce pan. Add maple and brown sugars and whisk together for about 2-3 minutes, until thick and boiling.
Whisk in cream. Bring mixture to a boil, whisking often. Boil until mixture thickens and has reduced.
Remove from heat and add salt and vanilla. Cool, cover, and chill.

It's a lovely Sunday out here in the real world, but the online world is full of shenanigans. While drooling over what my friends are doing on Facebook, I came across something which I love to do, that something is nothing but my love for advising people about technology.
Earlier today, the self proclaimed hackers LulzSec decided to hang their boots (Read: Editorial: LulzSec, AntiSec and Why the Internet is a Sadder Place Now). However, Facebook scammers are still far off from doing that.
A new Facebook Scam is underway where an app is promising that you can get 2000 Facebook Credits for free (remember the Free Cityville coins Scam?). Facebook Credits are virtual currency on Facebook which can be used to buy virtual goods on Facebook for games like Farmville and more. These credits are not free and can be acquired by paying for them.
Facebook Credits can be purchased by visiting your Account tab and then selecting the Payments tab. You can buy 50 credits for $5 and so on. Now a new scam is doing the rounds of Facebook where the app says that they will give you 2000 Facebook Credits for free. If you were to purchase 2000 credits on Facebook, you would have to pay $200. Now the offer from the scammer is definitely pretty enticing considering that you would be saving $200 upfront.
Pretty neat right? Well no, the offer is a big scam. After all, giving $200 to each of Facebook's 700 million users would cost a whooping $14 billion. The people claim that they would do it only for the first 1000 visitors, but what the heck, I want my pie. and I know more than 1000 users want it too.
Now who in their sane mind would want to spill out that kind of money for free? A lunatic right? Well you are wrong, it is a Facebook scammer.
If you do fall for the scam and click on the link, you might see a page similar to the screenshot above. The website in question is not hosted on Facebook itself, but it disguises itself to look like that. The website asks you to perform few steps in order to get 2000 free credits. One of the task involves sharing the page in question with a message like;
Get your FREE 2000 FACEBOOK CREDITS! NO SCAM NO surveys NO waste of time no task its totally FREE this promo is available for the first 1000 persons only… CHECK IT OUT ENJOY..i got mine and it works get yours here [site redacted]
Additionally, you will have to like the site. While you are performing the above steps, the site pretends to be checking the status of your actions. Well, it will keep doing that no matter what you do. Finally, after you have shared the scam with your friends (and probably managed to entice them too) you can click on the button to claim your "FREE 2000 Facebook Credits".
When you click that button shouldn't you be getting your so called FREE 2000 Facebook Credits? Well, you should, but you are redirected to a site which will tell you that the content is locked and "you are just one step away from unlocking the content of the site by performing another action". Wait, didn't you already do that? Well, there you go. Now you have to either customize your Facebook profile or figure out "How Smart Are You Really?" Wait, isn't this question ironic?
Once you perform the steps to cross the final hurdle, all you are left is with NOTHING. The spammer on the other hand just managed to make a few bucks by fooling you into taking a survey or performing a task? Phew, all in a day's work.
As I have repeated numerous times in the past, please do not get fooled by these freebies. They will waste your time and make money for those spammers who will then continue to devise new tactics to continue fooling you.
As a precautionary measure, always check which applications you use and remove unwanted or suspicious ones. If you aren't sure how to do it, you can always check our guide on removing apps from Facebook. In addition to that, don't forget to check out our article about Avoiding Facebook Lifejacking and Clickjacking scams. We also have a list of actively spreading scams on Facebook for you to look through and avoid.

Hi, I'm Dr. Fiona Caldwell and I'm a practicing veterinarian at Idaho Veterinary Hospital. I'm at home today answering questions from Pets Best Facebook page.
The first question is, "My black dog seems to have more dandruff than other dogs. It's especially noticeable after I give her a bath. Is there anything I can do to get rid of it?"
Black dogs do seem to have more noticeable dandruff just because of the contrast between their black fur and the whiter flakes of skin. If you are noticing it right after a bath, you might actually be drying the skin out a little bit. You might try using either a leave-in conditioner or a conditioning rinse, or a shampoo that's meant to condition the skin. There are some supplements that can help as well, like fish oil or omega fatty acids. These can sometimes improve the quality of the skin health.
The next question is, "My dog caught kennel cough at doggy daycare just as she was due for her six month vaccination for kennel cough. I understand she didn't need to be vaccinated again since she caught it, but the daycare manager won't allow her back until she's vaccinated. What would you recommend?"
Kennel cough is a tricky thing to vaccinate for because it can be caused by a number of different organisms and the vaccine only protects against one. If your daycare center requires a kennel cough vaccine, I would get her vaccinated. There is no harm in getting her re-vaccinated even if she already caught it. Obviously you wouldn't want to do it while she's sick, but once she's feeling better, go ahead and schedule an appointment to get her vaccinated again.

NEW ORLEANS – Investigators pressed ahead with their probe of four men accused of trying to tamper with a senator's phones after a lawyer said the conservative activists were just trying to capture embarrassing video of her staff ignoring constituent calls.
For her part, Democrat Sen. Mary Landrieu wasn't impressed with the lawyer's explanation Thursday that the men hoped to document claims that callers couldn't get through with complaints about her support for health care reform.
"Attorneys are hired to spin for their clients," she said Thursday in an interview in Washington. "Good luck."
J. Garrison Jordan, an attorney for one of the men, denied they were trying to disable or wiretap the phones in Landrieu's office. The four, including activist James O'Keefe, known for posing as a pimp and using a hidden camera to target the community-organizing group ACORN, were arrested Monday.
"You're dealing with kids," Jordan said. "I don't think they thought it through that far."
Monday's incident came weeks after callers began claiming that Landrieu's office was ignoring them. Protesters marched in front of Landrieu's office in Baton Rouge in December to criticize her support for Senate health care legislation and complain that they couldn't get through on her office phones. Landrieu said at the time that her office was flooded with a high volume of calls.
Jordan said his client, Robert Flanagan, the 24-year-old son of a federal prosecutor in Louisiana, did not intend to break the law when he went into the office posing as a telephone worker.
No matter their intentions, the four face the serious charge of entering federal property under false pretenses for the purpose of committing a felony, which carries up to 10 years in prison. They are free on $10,000 bail.
Investigators are aware of Jordan's explanation, but are pressing ahead to see if that was indeed the men's motive, a senior federal law enforcement official said Thursday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
Charged along with O'Keefe and Flanagan were Joseph Basel, 24, of Minnesota and Stan Dai, 24, of the Washington, D.C., area. The four are due back in court Feb. 12.
O'Keefe, Basel and Dai stayed with Benjamin Wetmore, a friend of O'Keefe's, while they were in New Orleans. Wetmore, a 28-year-old law school student, was O'Keefe's boss when he worked at the Leadership Institute, an Arlington, Va.-based program that trains conservative activists.
Wetmore declined to discuss their stay at his house and what they did while there. But he praised O'Keefe's work targeting ACORN on his Web site and said he hired O'Keefe in 2006, helping him hone his undercover camera craft.
In an Oct. 16 blog post, Wetmore criticized the Leadership Institute, where he no longer works, for not supporting O'Keefe's budding activism. Wetmore said he was "nearly fired for buying the initial video equipment that James used."
O'Keefe last year became famous for his videos about ACORN, the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now, which has affiliates that register voters in urban and other poor areas of the country. He used a hidden camera to record as he brought a young woman posing as a prostitute to the group's offices.
In Monday's incident, authorities said O'Keefe used his cell phone to try to capture video of two of his fellow defendants in Landrieu's office before their arrest. The two posed as telephone repairmen – wearing fluorescent vests, tool belts and hard hats, one equipped with a hidden camera – and asked to see the phones at Landrieu's office. The fourth is alleged to have waited outside in a car with a listening device that could pick up transmissions.
Andrew Breitbart, whose biggovernment.com site launched O'Keefe's ACORN videos and who has since hired O'Keefe as a contributor, also downplayed the federal case.
"Their uniforms were outlandish," Breitbart said in an interview. "This was like 'Hee Haw,' a blatant clown-nose-on spectacle to make a salient political yet mildly humorous point."•

A powerful mixed programme of work from The Royal Ballet on themes of loss and identity. Ceremony Of Innocence , by leading Danish dance maker Kim Brandstrup, is a poignant and elegiac work inspired by Death In Venice, exploring a favourite Britten theme- the loss of innocence. Liam Scarlett's new work takes its name from his chosen score, Bernstein's Symphony no.2 "The Age Of Anxiety", inspired by WH Auden's poem about four disparate characters in a wartime New York bar trying to make sense of their shifting world's. Such as a varied score offersan exciting range of possibilities for Scarlett's burgeoning talent, and the results are eagerly awaited. In contrast is the Olivier Award Winning Aeternum - Royal Ballet Artistic Associate Christopher Wheeldon's stark and poetic response to Britten's harrowing symphony of shattered hopes, the Sinfonia da Requiem. Conducted by Music Director of The Royal Ballet, Barry Wordsworth, this promises to be an extraordinary evening for all ballet aficionados.

Create a class called CardDeck with a main method contents exactly as shown here:
{ String[] deck=new String[52]; createDeck(deck); for(int i=0; i<52; i++) System.out.println(deck[i]); }
You should create a method called createDeck which populates the array you created in the main method. You must use four loops, each creates the 13 cards for one of the four suits. Within the loop the card names should be automatically generated and inserted in the array. (e.g., Ace of Spades, 2 of Spades King of Hearts, etc.) You must use loops to generate the card names, you must not create 52 literal Strings.
public class CardDeck { public static void main(String[] args) { String[] deck=new String[52]; createDeck(deck); for(int i=0; i<52; i++) System.out.println(deck[i]); } public static void createDeck(String[] myDeck) { String[] num={"Ace","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","Jack","Queen","King"}; int count=0; for(int x=0; x<13; x++) myDeck[x]=num[x]+" of Diamonds"; count++; for(int x=13; x<26; x++) myDeck[count]=num[count]+" of Spades"; count++; for(int x=26; x<39; x++) myDeck[count]=num[count]+" of Hearts"; count++; for(int x=39; x<52; x++) myDeck[count]=num[count]+" of Clubs"; } // end createDeck } // end class CardDeck
What is wrong with my code?

""Fujitsu has an excellent technical team, which works closely with our staff. We have had a good working relationship for many years and Fujitsu has an in-depth knowledge of our mission-critical application gained from several years' development and support work." "
Syl Byrne, IT Manager Remuneration Services, An Post
An Post, one of Ireland's largest companies, is a major commercial organisation providing a wide range of postal, communication, retail and financial services. With 9,600 employees throughout its national network of retail, processing and delivery points, the business also provides services to government departments, the National Treasury Management Agency and its own National Lottery Company.
A decade ago, An Post implemented a new nationwide time and attendance system to calculate and record staff salary and wages functions. The Staff Remuneration and Administration Management System (STREAMS) is a bespoke, mission-critical application developed by Fujitsu as a reliable, scalable client server system using Microsoft technologies.
The STREAMS front-end system gathers information and feeds the data to the company's HR, payroll and financial departments. It primarily creates more efficient processes for An Post to capture data for the weekly payroll run whilst simultaneously minimising the number of payroll queries by employees. Following deployment, STREAMS improved cost centre reporting, significantly lowered the time to record pay details and enhanced the processing of casual staff pay.
During this period, Fujitsu provided quality support and maintenance services and application enhancements to increase functionality, ensuring the long-term reliability of STREAMS. For instance, as employee numbers steadily increased to exceed original expectations, Fujitsu boosted system performance by upgrading the infrastructure and optimising the software.
STREAMS originally employed Visual Basic (VB), a third-generation event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) from Microsoft. IDE provides programmers with comprehensive facilities for software development and comprises a source code editor, a compiler and/or an interpreter, build automation tools and a debugger. However, Microsoft no longer supports VB version 6.0, the edition employed by An Post.
Syl Byrne, IT Manager Remuneration Services, An Post, explains: "To ensure that our business-critical application is future-proof, we needed to move to a platform that Microsoft will support for the foreseeable future."
An Post therefore decided to migrate STREAMS to the VB.NET platform, an object-orientated programming language. This strategy would protect its investment for the next 10 years by creating a secure, scalable and supported environment with lower management costs.
"Migrating to VB.NET was the best solution because it would provide our 400 end-users with the same look-and-feel that they were accustomed to with VB6. Moreover, for the next phase of the project, VB.NET allows us to move away from a client server product to a more flexible web-based environment," continues Syl Byrne.Recently, An Post renewed its three-year technical development and support contract with Fujitsu and also asked it to manage the STREAMS migration project.
"Choosing Fujitsu was never an issue," says Syl Byrne. "Fujitsu has an excellent technical team, which works closely with our staff. We have had a good working relationship for many years and it has in-depth knowledge of our mission-critical application gained from several years' development and support work."
Fujitsu managed the migration project in three phases. Stage one consisted of a proof-of-concept (POC) whilst the second and third stages comprised dealing with the CSAD subset and managing the main STREAMS migration respectively. The migration process involved over 194,000 lines of code.
From the onset, Fujitsu realised that identifying the correct migration tools and process were paramount. In addition, it appreciated that some code would undoubtedly require manual processing.
Fujitsu therefore used the POC to assess several automated migration tools. Each tool dealt with various screen samples and approximately 13,000 lines of code. This approach demonstrated the feasibility and effectiveness of proposed tools and, after identifying the most appropriate solution, would reduce any potential problems during future developments. Fujitsu recommended a solution by NewCode Technologies. NewCode's suite of .NET migration products provides leading modernisation technology for migrating, enhancing and re-engineering legacy applications. During the POC, this solution migrated test code three-times faster than Microsoft's migration wizard, completed more code successfully and rapidly determined the proportion of code requiring manual resolution.
"It's not surprising that some companies find moving from VB6 to VB.NET a daunting task especially when they decide to perform it manually," comments, Syl Byrne.
"The process is very tedious, lengthy and fraught with difficulties because some code simply gets lost in translation. I believe many businesses are spending a fortune to get code rewritten manually because they do not have appropriate in-house resources. However, Fujitsu proved that we could migrate 90 per cent of our legacy code automatically in a cost-effective manner."
Before the migration, Fujitsu helped NewCode fine tune the tool and, compared to manual analysis, determined that this technology would reduce the migration time by 85 per cent. The POC also identified any potential risks during the main migration, rework areas and over 30 code errors.
The STREAMS migration project involved design, systems integration, code deployment and performance testing. Fujitsu also piloted the new VB.NET code alongside the VB6 code at 10 offices to ensure end-users would not see any changes to the application environment.
"We liked Fujitsu's idea of appointing a test manager to oversee the entire test cycle. This approach was very apt because we intended to migrate the entire application. We had to test the product from the beginning to end so that its performance was identical to the old product. This involved testing every screen and every field," states Syl Byrne.
Fujitsu successfully completed the migration in four months and to budget. Today, An Post has a secure, scalable and supported Microsoft platform for its mission-critical STREAMS application.
With a combination of mainstream and extended support covering 10 years, An Post has protected its considerable investment in STREAMS and continues to benefit from efficient processes that capture data for the weekly payroll run. In effect, migrating from VB6 to VB.NET has given this important application a new lease of life. To ensure optimum performance, Fujitsu will provide biannual updates.
From an end-user perspective, they safely use the application with confidence because it looks and feels the same as the earlier VB6 platform. Consequently, processes appear identical, eliminating a potential threat to business continuity. At the same time, by moving away from a client server product, An Post will not waste time, money and resources on VB6 development and can focus on the next stage of the project; creating a more flexible web-based environment, which shares libraries with other .NET components.
Fujitsu's Microsoft Gold Partner status and in-depth knowledge of the required technologies, especially the .NET framework were a key benefit for An Post.
Fujitsu's Macroscope® Productivity centre™ is a robust, structured and dynamic development approach encapsulating more than 30 years of know-how and described by Gartner, the World's leading information technology research and advisory company, as 'the most extensive set of integrated methods, techniques and tools in the marketplace'.
"During the project, Fujitsu was very professional. We were assigned a dedicated project manager to control the whole project and, unlike some other organisations, its staff rigidly adhered to the correct processes and procedures," concludes Syl Byrne.

It's HUG DAY! Yes! That's right! It's the best day of the year because you can walk up to anyone, almost anyone, and give them an adorable embrace for no reason at all and then move on…with a smile on your face. If you look back, they'll have a smile on their face too. You know they will because we all need a lot more hugs in our lives.
One statistic says that we need at least twelve hugs a day to simply stay reasonably balanced. Twelve hugs!! Okay, most of us are operating under a severe hug deficit. Perhaps you could include dog or cat hugs, but when possible, go for actual people hugs. After all, it's Hug Day!!
You may remember a delightful piece that Shel Silverstein wrote in his book, Where the Sidewalk Ends, called Hug O' War. It's a great little poem about how hugs are much better than tugs, because with giggles and grins, everyone wins.
It's an inspired thought and one to pick up on today as you go about your business. Carry a sign if you have to, "No tugs, just hugs." Who knows you might actually start a hug swarm, a hug mob where people are suddenly dancing in the street. They may come up to perfect strangers and hug them as though they mean it. In this temporary insanity, they may see all people as worthy of something as valuable and as friendly as a hug. We may even have to call the hug police. They'll be out looking for those who try to skip out on Hug Day.
Fortunately, they won't have to arrest you. You're a great hugger! In fact, you're one of the best huggers around and so it will be natural for you to get out there and do your part to celebrate the day. Remember, No tugs, just hugs! Oh, don't you feel better already?
Happy Hug Day!

Wireless Password Hacker v3.
How to Hack WiFi Password (WEP/WPA/WPA2.
An internet connection has become a basic necessity in our modern lives. Wireless hot-spots (commonly known as Wi-Fi) can be found everywhere! If you have a PC with a wireless network card, then you must have seen many networks around you. Sadly most of these networks are secured with a network security key. Have you ever wanted to use one of these networks? You must have desperately wanted to check your mail when you shifted to your new house. The hardest time in your life is when your internet connection is down. Hacking those Wi-Fi passwords is your answer to temporary internet access.
Now to hack a Wifi Password you must first know what type of encryption it uses for its passwords there are many different types such as: WEP (easiest to crack/hack), WPA and WPA2.
Luckily for you we developed a program that automates all the hacking procces, and the only thing you need to do is click buttons wait.
How it works.
To make you fully understand the method how this program performs you would most likely need near few months very first to understand the fundamentals of programming. Right after that you would again require few years probably (depends on how fast learner you are) to completely understand the approach how it functions. But in short, it scans for available wireless networks in your range, it contacts them, after the contact is established, it receives packets, after the packets are received, it decrypts the packets, meaning it gets the password with tool built within our application. Some wireless networks can be hacked in few moments, some can take few minutes, or hardly ever hours. This depends on how victim's password is made. Many which are difficult to hack are created of letters (uppercase + lowercase), numbers and special characters. Naturally, many of them are made just of letters, and can be hacked extremely quick.
What Security Type's / Encryptions does the software hack.
The software can hack the following encryptions / security type's: - WEP - WPA - WPA2.

OFFSTAGE: Does Carrie Underwood Have a Bucket List?
(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Last weekend, Carrie Underwood and husband Mike Fisher went zip lining in Idaho. And if I remember correctly, the adventurous newlyweds also tried stand-up paddle surfing over the summer. So what's next? Do they have some kind of a bucket list? Or are they just checking off a to-do list of extreme sports and, the next thing we know, they'll be tweeting about their day spent cave diving, racecar driving and/or ice climbing? Fisher tweeted pictures, writing, "Great afternoon zip lining in Idaho with @carrieunderwood" and "Crazy view." She tweeted her own pictures of the gorgeous terrain and of him in a Barry's Bootcamp T-shirt and her in a Checotah, Okla., sweatshirt and pink sweatpants. Cannot wait to see what they try next.

Hey all,
I am finding across several of my sites that when I click the link to view a category, I am being taken to the url for that category but only being shown the exact home page.
I posted about this problem before here and Juggledad helped me track it down to the simple tags plugin. However this is ocurring on other sites that don't use this plugin - I have disabled every plugin with no luck. Here's an example: http://www.luckydragonstudio.com/cat...ack-and-white/
This site uses a custom category.php to display the posts in a category in a grid layout. I created category.php by copying the contents of index.php, then adding a few bits. It worked fine for ages, and the only changes I've made since then is upgrading to the latest version of wp. I'm using atahualpa 3.5.1. I have another site with the same problem which isn't using any plugins and isn't using a custom category.php.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I can't provide any more details about the exact site setup today as I'm away from home and don't remember my passwords! But thought I'd see if anyone has ideas.

Take a step back in time! You might want to help your grandchildren build this so that you can explain "this is how we used to do it in the good old days!" Then again, maybe not. They may think you are older than you really are. Well, it will also teach them about physics.
A pinhole camera is a simple camera that uses a single small aperture – a pinhole – instead of a lens. As light passes through this hole, an image is exposed onto the film loaded inside the camera. Exposure times are typically longer than with a normal lensed camera, due to the aperture being so much smaller. This means that pinhole cameras can typically take anywhere from a few seconds to a couple of hours to expose a photograph. Because of these long exposures the shutter is usually manually operated. Pinhole cameras were very popular back when photography first became popular for in-home use.
The VIDDY probably is the world's cutest do-it-yourself 35mm pinhole camera. The camera's web site proclaims, "It's fun, educational and takes less than 30 minutes to make!" It ships as a kit and reportedly requires about 30 minutes to put it together. It accepts both medium format and 35mm film.
I can hear your grandchildren asking, "Film? What's that?"
Actually, you cannot purchase a VIDDY just yet. The producers are raising money to go into production. You can pledge money today. Once enough pledges are made to finance the manufacturing process, the product will be built and shipped to those who pledged the money. If the producers cannot raise enough money, the project is canceled and each person who pledged money is never charged. First shipments are expected to begin by the end of November 2014.
Several options are available. I suspect most pledges will be made for one VIDDY camera kit for £30, roughly $50 U.S. Add in another £12 (roughly $20 U.S.) for shipment outside of the United Kingdom.
Take a step back in time! Amaze your grandchildren! (Well, maybe they will be amazed… but I suspect they will prefer a video game.)

Thanks to its military-grade ruggedized exterior, the 320GB Transcend StoreJet 25 Mobile($95) is the ideal solution for on-the-go digital pack rats who don't want to baby their gadgets. It incorporates three layers of antishock protection and conforms to military-grade drop standards, meaning you won't have to worry about losing your data as it's rolling around in your bag. In addition to the tough exterior, the drive also stands out as the top finisher in our HDD speed and cost per gigabyte tests. As usual, though, the drive is lacking FireWire, which is the only hiccup that prevents us from awarding it our Editors' Choice award. If you're a strict USB 2.0 user and are rough with your toys, your search will end with the Transcend StoreJet 25 Mobile.
Design and features
The Transcend StoreJet 25 Mobile isn't the first external drive to get the rugged treatment. In July of 2008, we were smitten with the Iomega eGo Camo that withstood a drop at 51 inches above the ground and still worked perfectly. The difference between that model and the StoreJet 25 Mobile is that the eGo relied on a removable Power Grip band to protect the device, while the StoreJet 25 Mobile's protection is built into the chassis. In fact, Transcend boasts that the drive meets the U.S. military's drop-test standards, although we don't suggest you intentionally abuse it to test that claim.
The 2.5-inch internal hard disk is protected by three stages of shock protection: the first layer wraps the drive in a silicone shell to absorb vibrations, the second suspends the hard drive within a tight bracket, and the third layer reinforces the vibration resistance with a thick rubber casing surrounding the drive. Unfortunately, the single USB port on top of the drive remains uncovered and susceptible to dust and other particles floating around.
The drive is available in 160GB, 250GB, 320GB, and 500GB capacities, and each model is also offered in red and black. The drive itself is about the same size as the eGo as well; it measures 134mm long by 80.8mm wide by 18.8mm tall and weighs a little less than half a pound.

Sprint Unveils 4G Tablet and a Phone Capable of 3-D Viewing Without Glasses
Shrugging off the news that AT&T and T-Mobile would merge to create the largest wireless carrier in the country, Sprint showed up at CTIA in Orlando to show off two very competitive new devices: a 4G tablet and a smartphone capable of displaying 3-D images without the need for special glasses.
At a press conference this afternoon, CEO Dan Hesse was expected to unveil two devices called the HTC EVO View, a 7-inch tablet, and the HTC EVO 3D.
Both will operate on Sprint's 4G/WiMax network.
The HTC EVO 3D is notable for its ability to display and record 3-D images, much like the upcoming launch of the Nintendo 3DS. In both cases, viewers can see the hologram-like images without the need for special glasses.
Pricing will be announced later this summer when the two devices get closer to availability. With most devices now priced similarly to Apple's iPad2, it will be imperative to be competitive, while also keeping down the cost of its mobile data fees.
On CTIA's opening day this week, it's already turning out to be a tablet-focused event–which as of recently has been par for the course at any wireless trade show.
For example, at Samsung's press conference this morning, it unveiled two super thin Galaxy Tabs with an 8.9-inch and a 10.1-inch display. RIM also announced that its Playbook will be available starting April 19.
The EVO 3D will be running the Android Gingerbread operating system. It has a 4.3 inch display and packs inside a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor. It has two five-megapixel cameras for filming conventional and 3D images and videos. Similar to the original EVO, it's the 3-D that makes it different.
This may be the first 3-D phone that doesn't require glasses, but it's also a niche that Nintendo is trying to carve out with its upcoming release of its 3DS. The handheld game unit launches on Sunday for $250. UPDATE: AT&T also announced a glasses-free 3-D device yesterday. The LG Thrill 4G will also let users shoot 3-D in addition to viewing it.
The HTC EVO View is the first time Sprint has launched a 3G and 4G Android together with HTC. The device will have a 7-inch display with a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and the latest version of HTC's software overlay called Sense. The device will have two cameras, a HD-capable video camcorder, and is being described as weighing less than a paperback book.

Today, data traveling over the Internet are much like crates of oranges traveling the interstates in the back of a truck. The data are loaded in at one end, unloaded at the other, and nothing much happens to them in between.
About 10 years ago, electrical engineers suggested that bundles of data could be transmitted over a network more efficiently if, instead of passing unaltered from one end to the other, they were scrambled together along the way and unscrambled at the end. In 2003, MIT electrical engineering professor Muriel Medard and her colleagues proved the counter-intuitive result that, in many cases, the best way to scramble data together was to do it randomly.
Last year, the paper in which the researchers presented their findings received an award from the IEEE, which recognized its seminal contributions to the field that's come to be known as "network coding." But the same year, the IEEE honored another network-coding paper, in which MIT researchers played the leading role: the paper that, in 2006, presented the first practical implementation of network coding.
The article The Power of 'Random' presented a simple example of how network coding increases efficiency. Suppose that two laptops are trying to send each other messages simultaneously over the Wi-Fi network in a coffee shop. Ordinarily, the first laptop would send its message to the coffee shop's Wi-Fi router, which would forward it to the second laptop. The second laptop would send its message to the router, which would forward it to the first laptop. That's four total transmissions.
But with network coding, the router would instead combine the two laptops' messages into a hybrid message, which it would broadcast to both laptops, reducing the total number of transmissions to just three. Each laptop would then subtract the message it had sent from the hybrid to recover the message intended for it.
Dina Katabi, an associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science; Medard; MIT grad students Sachin Katti and Hariharan Rahul (Katti now teaches at Stanford; Rahul still works with Katabi at MIT); and Cambridge University's Jon Crowcroft and Wenjun Hu generalized this approach to a network with many different transmitters and receivers.
The researchers blanketed two floors of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab with wireless routers programmed to execute their network coding scheme. They then used wireless devices to exchange test data over the network. Like all information sent over modern networks, the test data were broken up into smaller "packets" of information for transmission. And as is typical with most wireless networks, electromagnetic interference, physical obstacles, and sheer distance from the wireless devices meant that no one router received all the packets. Unlike conventional routers, however, the ones in the MIT network mixed the packets' content before forwarding them; they even mixed bytes in packets that belonged to different communication streams.
In the MIT network, routers told their neighbor routers which packets they had heard over the wireless medium. A router would use that information when preparing mixed (or coded) packets to send to its neighbors. Consider a router that has four packets in its memory, A, B, C and D. It knows that one of its neighbors also has A and C; another neighbor has A and D; and a third neighbor has C and D. So it creates a single mixed packet that combines packets A, C and D. The first neighbor uses that packet to recover D; the second neighbor uses it to recover C; and the third neighbor uses it to recover A. A single packet thus conveys three times as much information as it would have in an ordinary wireless network. Interestingly, such mixed packets, which combine information about multiple original packets, have the same size as the original packets, and hence can be transmitted over the wireless medium using the same resources as if they were normal unmixed packets.
In experiments, the coding scheme significantly increased the amount of data that the network could carry without requiring any more bandwidth. Although the precise figure varied according to the number of wireless devices accessing the network, which of them were sending information to which others, and the amount of interference they encountered, "in general," Katabi says, "you can see, let's say, threefold improvements."
Chris Ramming, who as a program manager for the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) funded several projects that investigated network coding, says that the two papers honored by the IEEE "are two very seminal papers, for completely different reasons." According to Ramming, who's now director of the Corporate External Research Office for Intel, Katabi and Medard's paper "was a practical result. It took a completely different kind of network coding and showed in a real wireless network on the MIT campus that it can make an important difference."
Both Katabi and Medard have continued to work on network coding, sometimes apart, but frequently as collaborators. "We exactly complement each other," says Katabi. "Muriel has the theoretical foundation, while I come to it from, 'Let's make it work, let's make it practical. How can we actually make it work over an actual wireless channel?' "
Indeed, Katabi has found a way to make networks even more efficient by exploiting the physical characteristics of actual wireless channels. In the network described in the award-winning paper, wireless routers received electromagnetic signals, translated them into bits, mixed the bits together, and then translated the bits back into electromagnetic signals. But signals sent from different transmitters naturally blend together physically. That blending is usually a nuisance: the signals have to be separated before data can be extracted from them. But Katabi built another experimental wireless network in which routers don't disentangle blended signals; they just amplify and forward them. It turns out that the network coding techniques that work at the level of the bit can be extended to reconstruct the original signals, without lots of intermediate translations.
Medard, too, has been concerned with the practical implementation of network coding, if at a higher level of abstraction. The Internet is designed so that a computer or phone receiving information will generally acknowledge the arrival of data packets. If an acknowledgment fails, the sender knows that it has to resend the missing packet. But if, as with network coding, all the packets are mixed together, which packet does the receiver acknowledge? Medard and her colleagues have found a practical way to answer that question, a system wherein each hybrid packet identifies the source packets it combines. The receiver then keeps the sender apprised of the source packets represented in the hybrids it's received.
Medard and her colleagues are also working on applications of network coding in streaming video, where different means of combining data can be tailored to the different image resolutions of receiving devices. And they're considering cases where network coding can be applied to several different networks at once. If, for instance, your phone can connect to both Wi-Fi networks and the cellular network, then for large files, you might want to download data over both networks at once. But the cellular network could be significantly more expensive to use than a local Wi-Fi network, so you would want to minimize the amount of data transmitted over it. Network coding can help coordinate transmissions over the two networks, to maximize efficiency while minimizing cost.
Although a young field, network coding has already sparked corporate interest. Defense contractor BAE built the equipment for the DARPA projects that Ramming funded, and Microsoft used network coding in a file-sharing program called Avalanche. Medard says that she is currently working with France Telecom, the French technology company Technicolor (formerly Thomson SA) and the Chinese telecommunications company Huawei on network coding applications. Katabi adds that Cisco and Samsung have also expressed interest in the MIT researchers' work. "Network coding is a very cool idea," says Katabi. "There are so many things you can do with it."
